Trolling motor with adjustable shaft
length

Abstract:

A
trolling motor has a shaft with adjustable length that the user can adjust to
get the optimum balance of performance and safety.

Description:

All
trolling motors today have a fixed shaft length. These vary from as small as
30” to 60+”, this is done in order to accommodate boats with different heights
off the water surface. In addition trolling motors also perform better when
they are a certain distance below the water surface. However, having them too
low puts them at greater risk of striking objects. Users can adjust the heights
of these motors but they cannot adjust the overall shaft length.

The
shafts on most mechanical cable steer motors built today are already two pieces.
The upper part is fixed to the mounting system and the lower part sits below
the mount and rotates when the user engages the foot pedal. Making it so that
these two parts can be slid into or out of each other would enable a trolling
motor that the user can adjust the overall length of the shaft to get the
optimum balance of performance and safety.

This can be
done either manually with a locking collar or electronically via a motor inside
the shaft that actuates the lower part controlled via a wireless remote (key
fob or foot pedal) or on screen via the MFD.

All trolling
motors in the market now do not let the user adjust the length of the shaft
from the trolling motor head to the propeller below. This means that users have
to know the required...
